7 //! Lightning message signing and verification lives here. These tools can be used to sign messages using the node's
8 //! secret so receivers are sure that they come from you. You can also use this to verify that a given message comes
9 //! from a specific node.
10 //! Furthermore, these tools can be used to sign / verify messages using ephemeral keys not tied to node's identities.
12 //! Note this is not part of the specs, but follows lnd's signing and verifying protocol, which can is defined as follows:
14 //! signature = zbase32(SigRec(sha256d(("Lightning Signed Message:" + msg)))
15 //! zbase32 from <https://philzimmermann.com/docs/human-oriented-base-32-encoding.txt>
16 //! SigRec has first byte 31 + recovery id, followed by 64 byte sig.
18 //! This implementation is compatible with both lnd's and c-lightning's
